Mrs Andrea Seager and Mr David Francis Notley

Dear Gouri
A short note to tell you – I am sure you will not be surprised – that we had an excellent trip to Kerala, returning yesterday evening exhausted but delighted with it all. Many thanks for making all the arrangements which worked without a single hitch. Since you know all the attractions I will not single one out but I would like to mention that our driver throughout – Yahiya – was quite outstanding and much enhanced our whole experience. If it is possible to put our apprecia…

Mrs Fenella Jane Harrison and Mr David Henry Arnold Harrison

We arrived back home on 9 December 18 after our trip to South India. I had planned to write sooner – but with Christmas etc., I kept putting it off.
The trip was fabulous – all the arrangements went smoothly; itinerary good; the hotels (mostly) were great; the choice of Ground Operator – Personal Tours Associate – was excellent; the driver was terrific throughout; the guides were all good, two excellent; and the flights (which we booked ourselves via Emirates) all on time and mo…

Mrs & Mr Peter Connell

Dear Rajiv and Gouri,
I am safely returned from my month in India in one piece.
The trip was fantastic all round and very well organised, with all the agents / drivers / guides in the right place at the right time etc and of a high standard. The itinerary certainly afforded a wide cross section of different places in the country, and has wetted my appetite to go back and explore again, perhaps in more detail in some areas.
I particularly enjoyed the Heritage hotels, the most interesting…

Mr Stephen Edwards

Hi Gouri,
I apologise for lack of contact since we were escorted to Chennai airport as we have been at sea in the Maldives. We are just back to Heathrow.
Everything went really well, all the arrangements were perfect. Driver was excellent and great company.
I will send detailed comments when I have had a sleep, copied to your colleagues in India.

The home stay in Delhi, though basic, was clean and the food very good.
Our driver, Rishi: I have already read other reviews rightfully singi…

Steve & Nicky

Hello Gouri

I just wanted to say many thanks for organising our tour of India’s Golden Triangle with The Maharajas Express. My mum and I were met at the airport by Girish with beautiful garlands and I was presented with a lovely bouquet for my birthday. It was very thoughtful – we had a lovely time at our sightseeing tour. The train journey was simply fantastic and even my mum agreed that we should have booked the 7 day tour!
